Influences of CAPE on hail production in simulated supercell storms

Y Lin, MR Kumjian - Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2022 - journals.ametsoc.org
Lasting updrafts are necessary to produce severe hail; conventional wisdom suggests that
extremely large hailstones require updrafts of commensurate strength. Because updraft …
